Key Review Excerpts
“I thought they were great but unfortunately I was overdosed by a med passer. I came out of it ok but I could have died if they didn’t catch her mistake.”
“One day they wheeled her into the dining room for breakfast and left her sitting there all day until I came to visit and found her. Her room always averaged about 90 degrees. Most days they never even got her out of bed or dressed.”
“I found her almost nude, bile all over herself and incoherent. She was transferred to the hospital. I don't know how they said they checked on her every hour and couldn't see what she looked like.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
